Choosing to go to graduate school means staying in school much longer than most people. It means more reading and writing than your six-year-old self could ever have imagined. It also means access to a brilliant community of people passionate about research and teaching — just like you. It means an opportunity to study something you care about and make a meaningful contribution to the world through research and through your interactions with students.

So don’t let Bart Simpson et al. get you down. Have a good weekend and hope see you back on Monday!
